"Well, he's not running for sociologist in chief, he's running for president."

When Shrum and Carville are your defenders, you are screwed.

The "Compassion Forum."

A twofer: bland and tired.

"Phony, academic-sounding verbal junk... trying to talk like effete characters from Victorian novels...."

I would like to link to this uncritically.

"[Bill Clinton] can’t compute that he’s not the new kid on the block. It’s about his mortality — and immortality."

Relevcance.

"So Indiana may end up being the tiebreaker."

Is Obama a leftist or just inexperienced? Prof. Althouse puzzles through this question with the help of the balanced panel of John Hinderacker, Ed Morissey, Glenn Reynolds and Mickey Kaus (whose piece she particularly likes).

"'How many angels dance on the head of the pin?,' she responded, continuing to giggle."

Calling it a cackle doesn't seem positive but what else do you call it?

Obama won't pay "street money" — a "Philadelphia ritual."

Rarely am i neutral about money.

McCain's biggest problem keeps getting worse.

Perhaps the link died of old age.

Oh, no!

It's as easy to rank as American Idol. 1. McCain 2. Obama 3. Clinton

McCain at a loss for words...

McCain reminds me of Tim Conway in that clip. Good thing I don't have to remain neutral

McCain-Rice.

Or "polls in April which will be meaningless in the fall."

Appearing with Elton John, Hillary Clinton proclaims "I’m still standing."

But does she "have" standing.

The Senate hearing on Iraq.

Summaries are rarely neutral. Prof. Althouse did not include a label including Obama though he is in the clip. Don't know what to make of that.

It's the new Bloggingheads — with me and Jeralyn Merritt (of TalkLeft)!

Bloggingheads!

"Well, I think it's given him a lot of depth and a broadness of view."

I am big enough not to pronounce this Obama negative.
